The Ghana Music Awards UK Committee, hit back last night on allegations from MUSIGA (Musicians Union of Ghana)

The Committee of the Ghana Music Awards UK, lashed back on an article from MUSIGA stating that the awards ceremony was only being organised to ?syndicate visa?s abroad? Mr Alhaji Sidiku Buari, President of MUSIGA also stated that MUSIGA is not part of the Ghana Music Awards UK and has no knowledge of any such event and if ?any member participates in the event without MUSIGA?s expressed approval, does so at his or her own risk?.

Mr Eric McKaiser, CEO Easy Media Empire and founder of Ghana Music Awards UK lashed back at MUSIGA stating that the allegations were ludicrous and deplorable, as the organisation has never solicited in such acts. Eric states ?We at Ghana Music Awards UK are a professional organisation; we would not engage ourselves in such acts. Our reputation is very important to us and we would not want to jeopardise that; further more there has been no such incident or case against us, and I believe if such incident had taken place, we as a registered company would not have been allowed to continue to organise the event for the past three years.

Eric also stated ?Alhaji Sidiku Buari (President of MUSIGA) claims that he has no knowledge of the event, which is totally untrue as he attended and presented an award at the first Ghana Music Awards UK event in 2003, our organisation abides with the laws of the land, and no one is obliged to seek approval from MUSIGA if they want to be a part of this prestigious event. The incident of the persons claiming to be musicians and absconding to Switzerland has nothing to do with our organisation or event,
